A good carmoderatly, good exhaust the right temp. Negative air pressure and u get no odours not even when you open your tent moderatly i am attatced to my neighbors i know how important the shit is but even with everything on the money temps above 80f and Rh above 60% and th?e carbon filter will start to give off an odour happend to me once when temps were high never had a humidity problem. I think it was becuase the plants were reaking like never before cause of high temps carbon was given off a smell. Never had a humidity prob. but i guess it kills the filters ability to work right.. I been there man glad plug ins ozone and ona is all garbage health hazard shit and will fuck with your plants

How so/what have you heard? I guess releasing those enzymes could get on the bud and hurt it? Ive heard of people mixing odor killer into soil :/ seems like it would hurt the plants.

Don't know about mixing anything into soil. Who knows, maybe it works and is fine to do if you use the right stuff but doesn't sound that nice to me. I really don't know about that.

Apparently Ona makes your bud smell and taste like Ona if left to contaminate your plants for prolonged use. Thats why you should only put it outside of the grow and not in with your plants or your air intake. It's powerfull stuff. Even the Ona pro (blue label) does have a smell, well a brand new bucket of it does anyway lol. I opened the lid on my brand new bucket with the Ona breeze fan running at full blast for about 2 mins and it was strong to say the least, so im more than confident that this will get rid of anything that doesn't go through the carbon filter as and when needed.

Ozone Is bad for you. Also supposedly when the air fresheners chemicals (terpenes) are exposed to Ozone this also creates harmful toxins so the scientists say. But the terpenes alone are organic and safe. Glade plug ins have caused house fires. Ona gel is safe to use. Mix it with Ozone and it will pose an increased health risk say the scientists, but lets face it if you live within the city smog you are exposed to far worse air anyway.

The scientific study has found that terpenes mixed with ozone make harmful toxic pollutants and also using cleaning products in confined spaces is potentially bad for you aswell. This is as far as the study goes though, so make of that what you will. I smoke many cigarettes a day and thats far worse surely. Living in a smoggy city center is surely worse. Surely the implications of being caught growing for most people far outweigh the small risk of using air fresheners? When you actually put it into perspective nothing in life is health risk free infact we are very much all at the mercy of chance. We don't actually live in the safe cocoon that we think we do.

I know were exposed to alot of bad shit anyways, but i have felt the way ozone makes you feel short breaths all of that. And the headaches glade plugs in give you, and i think ona is just expensive and will make people suscpicious cause its so strong, even the so called harmless negative ion generator has kept me awake and iv felt the weird side effects of remembering all my dreams, sometimes couldnt sleep right. Felt like eletricity was in the air, antidepressant yes but then theres a crash later when your not around it. I don't trust those either naturals neg. Ions in the air i believe in, maybe im just a sensitve person even those c02 pucks i bought 50 of them once those made me feel weird. Fresh natural air is all i want now, id prefer the crisp himilayan air in india but cracken a window is good enough i guess lol

I have to say, I used to have issues with this but I spent $200 on a carbon joint and fan, and I can hardly even smell the plants when I'm in the grow room any more. I don't know why this should be a huge issue.

Detroit, I think you are much more sensitive to such things than most people. Not that that's a bad thing, just that it's a fact.

i'm building a grow cabinet now and i've got a carbon scubber from foothills filters but i was planning to place a ona gel bucket behind my cabinet to kill any remaining smell, Should i be worried about having ona gel near my passive intake? will this harm the plants?

any input on my build would be helpful thread is in my signature

Aww man u bought a foothill. Resistance aint good on them after a a run or 2. You gotta blow the air through the other way and hit it. lol. ALL The dust flys out, but then the fan really gets rippen again. I bought one figured its refillable cool. But the way a machine packs the shit, i guess is the best way. i never tried efilling mine still got it. Phresh filters the best! hands down..

Ozone is great but quite a bit of work to get going well. Realize the weight of the molecule in the air so it's not to be sat at the bottom of a chimney and chimney's are great creating a nice wide flue is fine. Ozone is caustic and heavy so if you sleep on a palette well not around the ozone. Sore throat is all okay? You guys know a standard sinusoidal wave up and down well that could fit in a attic you know? just imagine that wave running along the side of the house. or just a plastic vent you staple up! Don't just have it around the plants either. Especially don't let it be picked up by the air pumps! For that matter don't let the air-pumps pick-up CO2 of course I mean hydroponics whenever I speak.

bought two of these and it controls odor for both my fems, not for a large grow, just a clandestine one that you don't want the neighbors to smell, i have used them to success, i have a strong sense of smell and i cant smell them till i walk up to them, 3 weeks in flower, frosty buds and leaves already, 10 to 15% smell i would say, lay next to them at night and not that they would bother me anyways, but barely smell when they should REEK, just needs proper ventilation to work its magic, just my say.

I've got one of these, Plan to use it for supplimental odor control with my carbon scrubber and some ona gel plus maybe some of those hanging volcanic crystal bags.
my grow isn't going now but the lil thing doesn't really handle the smell from my cats litter boxes. i've got three little cats
it helps but doesn't totally cover, so i'd say no it won't work on its own to control a grow room smell, but for secondary help its nice little device. Runs super quiet, gotta put an ear to it to make sure its on

Phresh filters r the best better airflow lower temps, i know cuz i use panasonic whisperline fans not that good on cfm loss with a carbon filter but with phresh filters they helped bring my temps down and airflow uP, as far as odour goes man higher temps make your plants give off a hardcore rounchy smell 75f and under your plants will still kick really hard but more like a sweet sweet Female odour instead of the hardcore with higher temps, i already know my weed is gonna be off the chain just from the sweet smell they give off 6th week bloom, i say potency is all in the smell, and with high enough temps, your carbon filter might still let some odour through cuz of the rounch your plants put out....
